Teaching Procedures Tips
Step 1 Revision
T asks Ss to see the pictures on PPT P5-P8 and fill in the blanks so that Ss can have a
better review of what they have learned.
T asks Ss to have a free talk with their partners about clothes.
(T can give a sample first, and Ss can have a free talk according to the sample. —What's this? /
What are these?
—This is a shirt. / These are shoes.
—How do you spell it?
—S-H-I-R-T.
—How much is it? / How much are they?
—It's 10 dollars. / They are 10 dollars.)
Step 2 Grammar learning
Grammar Focus
The T can ask Ss to read the sentences in the chart and pay
attention to their pronunciation and intonation. Then guide them
to distinguish when to use how much is and how much are.
Draw their attention to the usage of the target language.
At last the T can summarize the usage of the target grammar
1structure from several aspects.
Step 3 Presentation & Practice
3a
Ask Ss to read these words in the three boxes in 3a and translate them.
Then
Ss do the task in 3a and the T can invite some Ss to share their
answers.
Sample Answers:
How much is ... the this that yellow purple T-shirt sweater
brown white hat
green blue red skirt jacket bag
How much are ... the those these black trousers shorts
socks shoes
3b
Ask Ss to look at the pictures and write the questions and answers.
(When Ss share answers, T should ask them to explain the reasons. Ss read the
conversations and T explain the language points. After students share the
answers, T can ask Ss to make a conversation in class.)
Answers:
1. It's five dollars. 2. It's ten dollars. 3. It's six dollars.
4. How much are the socks? 5. How much is the sweater?
6. How much is the skirt?
3c
The activity is to provide speaking practice with the target language.
Teaching Tip: Remember the Price
After completion of 3b, have Ss look at their books for one minute
and try to memorize the prices of the six items of clothing. After one
minute, have Ss close their books and stand. They must then answer
the T’s question about the price of one item before they can sit down,
e.g.
T: How much is the black hat?
S:It’s $5.
Step 4 Exercises & Homework
Exercises
Ask Ss to do the exercises on PPT P27-P30.
Ask Ss to make a summary about language points they learned today.
2Homework
1. Preview the new words and phrases in Section B(1a-1e).
2. Do the exercises in students’ book.
When explaining the sentence pattern what's the price of… this sentence pattern was
not fully emphasized, so students made many mistakes when doing exercises. The
Teaching
grammar of this class is relatively simple. But I explained too much, which is a waste of
Reflection
time. Students should be allowed to do more exercises. Ss can master the usage though
practice.
